Ge.Si.ass., an Italian IT solution provider, provides a range of software and application management services to Nationale Suisse and Helvetia, two large Italian insurance firms. The two companies wanted to find new analysis and reporting technology that offered more flexibility, faster response times, and better scalability. To address these business needs, Ge.Si.ass. implemented a new Business Intelligence (BI) solution based on Microsoft SQL Server 2008, including SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services and SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services. With the new technologies in place, Nationale Suisse and Helvetia now have a low-cost solution that gives managers access to real-time mission-critical business data. The success of the solution has led to an expansion into other business areas.
